Lamb's quarter

It is unfortunate that almost everyone throws away this invasive garden weed, because it is delicious to eat. It is a close cousin of the quinoa, as you can see by comparing with the quinoa picture from wikipedia : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa#/media/Fichier:Chenopodium_quinoa_kz02.jpg

There are a surprising number of herbs that we no longer eat. I used to grow and eat Good King Henry 30 odd years ago, and it's now getting a revival, but was almost unknown then.

It’s also a very beautiful plant. I have only ever eaten quinoa seeds. I have seen lamb’s quarter at the farmers’ market. Maybe I’ll buy some.
